Cracker: Send in the Clowns, in reply to Damian Christie,
I assume it was the Merv Wellington story you were referring to?
Nope. More generalised. I understand the production-end logic, but it's a relief to hear at least some content is being preserved in the form that it was screened. That's what audiences remember.
Eventually, I imagine current facial-recognition and identity management will be integrated features of production/broadcast systems. Heck, if Facebook can do it...

trod on enough eggshells
And he has a foot on both eggshells, as it were. Brave.

Up Front: Fairy-Tale Autopsies, in reply to 81stcolumn,
In defence of those that appear to be trying to side track a thread, sometimes they just see a connection between things that seems obvious to them but not others
I enjoy that, personally. So many smart, insightful and generous people.
We discussed some time ago the relationship between views and posts per thread. Unless the numbers shown are for unique viewers, Giovanni was right that it's not simple division of the number of active posters out of total active readers (which seems a more accurate description to me than 'lurkers').
If it was, then for this thread as I write, that's 87 posts out of 1888 views - or about 1 writing for every 22 readings.
Standard ratios I've read for any discussion are 90% pure readers, 9% infrequent commenters and 1% frequent ones. We do not all need to talk, but we are all part of the sharing and weaving of knowledge and of community.

As jokes go, this is pretty elaborate.
Performance art, David. You'd know about that.

APN tried to use them as leverage to get a better deal
And let me guess, no one has reported this to the public or responsible Minister?

keys are usually inserted live at the time of broadcast, over top of the story, and unless an ‘ex-air’ copy of the show is recorded, they disappear.
Interesting. Are more recent archives ex-air or is this a persistent flaw in the way the TV industry uses identifying labels?

whove... snort. Hoist with your own petard methinks.
But what else could that word (and sentence) mean? I'd say it was a success.

we agree that the latter has some importance
certainly - or no message would be understandable
